Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an injection device for coating an ultrasonic stent with an air spray nozzle and a coating liquid spray nozzle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an injection device for an ultrasonic stent coating, and more particularly, to a medical device used for normalizing the flow of blood or body fluids by inserting the injection device into a relevant part such as a blood vessel, a gastrointestinal tract, The present invention relates to an injection apparatus for an ultrasonic stent coating having an air injection nozzle and a coating liquid injection nozzle which are configured such that a coating liquid is not scattered to a coating apparatus in coating a surface of a stent.

Generally, a stent is developed for the treatment of coronary artery. When a blood or body fluid does not flow smoothly in a blood vessel, a gastrointestinal tract, or a bile duct due to a malignant or benign disease, Is a cylindrical medical material used to normalize the flow of blood or body fluids by inserting it into a closed or clogged area.

More specifically, coronary artery stenosis, such as arteriosclerosis, is generally treated using percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, which was performed in 1977 by Gruentzig < RTI ID = 0.0 > ) Has been inserted into a balloon-shaped device called a catheter, and has been actively practiced worldwide since its first operation.

However, conventional catheter-based coronary angioplasty has been associated with acute closure and restenosis during or after the procedure.

Therefore, in order to reduce the problems of restenosis and the like, there have been conventionally used atherectomy, rotabulation, transluminal extraction catheter, excimer laser coronary angioplasty and stent, New methods such as the insertion of a magnetic field have been studied.

However, in these methods, there is no way to reliably relieve the restenosis phenomenon other than the procedure of widening and maintaining the physically restenosed region by inserting the stent.

Even if the stent is used to maintain the extension after percutaneous coronary angioplasty (PTCA), there is a problem that restenosis occurs at a rate of about 20 to 30%, although the restenosis rate is low, as compared with the case of only PTCA.

In addition, for example, in the treatment of a patient suffering from an esophageal cancer, when expanding the narrowed esophageal region by a physical force in accordance with the proliferation of the cancer and allowing the patient to ingest the food, May be performed.

However, conventional metal stents have a problem in that as the size of the tumor increases with the lapse of time, the invasion of the cancer continues between the gaps of the stent metal mesh, resulting in a restenosis phenomenon in which the esophageal lumen narrows again.

In addition, since the intestinal thickening is the main cause of restenosis after insertion of the stent, recently, a drug capable of inhibiting the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, which is a direct cause of intimal thickening, is coated on the stent, A drug release type stent for preventing restenosis by releasing a drug has been developed.

Examples of the above agents include taxol (Paclitaxel), mitomycin C, adriamycin, genistein, tyrphostin, cytochalasin, ), Sirolimus (Rapamycin), and the like. Coating of such a drug is performed by coating a part or all of the stent so that a coating solution in which the drug and the biocompatible polymer are dissolved in the solvent is present on the surface of the stent .

The conventional stent coating method includes, for example, an immersion method in which a stent is immersed in a coating solution, followed by drying, and a spray method in which a coating solution is sprayed.

Here, in the dipping method, there is a case where a web (coating between struts) or a bridge is generated in the space portion of the stent by immersion, and in addition to the possibility that the web or bridge affects the mechanical function of the stent, If a part of the web or bridge is destroyed or peeled and flows to peripheral blood vessels after mounting, it may cause blood circulation disorder, which is not preferable.

On the other hand, the spray method can form a coating layer by spraying a coating liquid onto the outer and / or inner circumferential surface of the stent while rotating the stent and / or moving the spray nozzle, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent No. 10-1374073.

However, as in the prior art, the spray method is more liable to waste the coating liquid than the amount of the sprayed coating liquid adhered to the stent, and in particular, when the scattered coating liquid is adsorbed to the coating apparatus, There arises a problem that the operation is difficult or the management cost is increased.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a stent with a coating solution uniformly sprayed to a stent, The present invention also provides an injection apparatus for an ultrasound stent coating having an air injection nozzle and a coating liquid injection nozzle which can be used for a stent coating.
